Hi Johanna.
Hope this email finds you well. It’s been a while. Missing your travel posts and with covid restrictions easing, hopefully they will resume 👍🏻
I’m planning a trip to Vancouver island at the end of March with husband, and brother and his wife and wondered if you have any travel suggestions for that area (Port Renfrew, Tofino, etc)
Looking forward to hearing back.
Thanks Johanna
Take care.

Hi Lee-Ann
Indeed it’s been more than a year since I’ve written any posts at all for this website! I focus my time writing magazine articles instead. Glad you found this page, as it is up to date with my Tofino articles. The Lonely Planet piece recommends my favourite whale watching company and a great restaurant (the chef has changed, but it’s still one of the best in the area). Hope you have great trip!

I’m interested in your impressions of the Trans Canadian Highway?
How do you find out about such pristine places like this?

Well… the sign indicating the end of the Trans Canada is in downtown Tofino, so pretty easy to spot :-)
